Americans to Eat 1.25 Billion Chicken Wings for Super Bowl XLVIII
January 22, 2014
‘Great Wing Shortage’ of 2013 officially over; Buffalo Wings turn 50
Washington, D.C. – First Lady Michelle Obama isn’t the only one turning 50 this year. 2014 also marks the 50th anniversary of the first “Buffalo Wing” being sauced and tossed at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York.
With the second biggest eating day of the year after Thanksgiving – Super Bowl Sunday – upon us, there’s no hotter time of year for chicken wings, which have become a staple food of Super Bowl parties in the United States.

According to the National Chicken Council’s 2014 Wing Report, 1.25 billion wings will be devoured during Super Bowl XLVIII, as fans watch the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos battle for the Lombardi Trophy, matching the record level of 2012. That is about 20 million more wings than were consumed last year during Super Bowl XLVII.
To put that into perspective, if 1.25 billion wing segments were laid end to end, they would stretch from CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey (home of Super Bowl XLVIII)… 30 times.

That is enough wings to put 572 wings on every seat in all 32 NFL stadiums.
Bill Roenigk, chief economist and market analyst at the Washington, D.C.-based National Chicken Council, explains that the increase in consumption coincides with an increase in chicken production linked to increasing consumer demand and decreasing feed costs.
“The National Chicken Council estimates about four percent more chicken will be produced this year compared to last,” explained Roenigk.

“More chickens mean a bigger supply of wings and more favorable prices this year for consumers. Based off of current supermarket features, consumers can expect to pay around five percent less than last January for wings.
“This means that the ‘Great Wing Shortage’ of 2013, that never really was, is officially over. Sports fans can enjoy this affordable luxury even more this year.”
Corn makes up more than two-thirds of chicken feed and corn prices hit an all-time high in the fourth quarter of 2012, due to two reasons: the record drought in the Midwest in the Summer of 2012 and the ensuing pressure on corn prices from a continued federal government requirement that mandates 40 percent of our corn crop be turned into fuel in the form of ethanol.

Wing Eating Competition among NFL Playoff Cities
While Seattle is known for many things, including its coffee, Fortune 500 companies and Pearl Jam, chicken wings aren’t one of them.

Residents of Seattle tend to punt on chicken wings, as they are 44 percent less likely to eat chicken wings in general than the average resident of the top 42 U.S. markets, according to The NPD Group’s CREST Local Market service.

A San Francisco victory in the NFC Championship game would have fared even worse for wing consumption.
Here’ a look at how the eight cities/teams that made it to the NFL playoffs divisional round stack up when it comes to eating chicken wings:
Above Average
-Charlotte (Panthers): Eat 26% more wings than the average resident of the top 42 US markets
-New Orleans (Saints): Eat 21% more wings than average
Average
-Boston (New England Patriots): 4% less likely to eat wings
-Denver (Broncos): 5% less likely
Below Average
–Indianapolis (Colts): 13% less likely to eat wings
-San Diego (Chargers): 39% less likely
-Seattle (Seahawks): 44% less likely
-San Francisco (49ers): 48% less likely
“We quite possibly would have seen more than a 20 million wing increase this year based on this data, had the Panthers and Patriots made it to the big game,” said NCC’s Roenigk.

“But with a team from Washington State and Colorado playing in the Super Bowl, the Council has high hopes that chicken munchie consumption will increase as a result.”
Interestingly, a city without a team, the residents of the Columbia, South Carolina market, have the highest order rate for chicken wings among the 42 local markets tracked by The NPD Group … 56% more likely to eat wings than the average eater.

Ranch Hands Blue Cheese Second Consecutive Defeat in Annual Poll
More than half (51 percent) of U.S. adults who eat chicken wings said they typically like to eat their wings with ranch dressing, according to a new National Chicken Council poll conducted online in January 2014 by Harris Interactive*. Ranch is once again the #1 side or sauce typically eaten with wings, but down six percent from 57 percent one year ago.

Only about one-third (32 percent) prefer blue cheese dressing.
Interestingly, 66 percent of women aged 18-34 choose ranch dressing.
Northeastern wing eaters, though, are significantly more likely to prefer blue cheese dressing (45 percent) than those in the Midwest, South (both 31 percent) and West (23 percent), while those regions are more likely to prefer ranch dressing. Of all U.S. adults who eat wings, barbeque sauce, not blue cheese, comes in second after ranch as the dipping sauce most typically eaten with wings, at 35 percent.

The data also show that more than four in five U.S. adults (81 percent) eat chicken wings, up two percentage points over last year. Consumption does not vary significantly by gender. Women (78 percent) are just as likely as men (84 percent) to roll up their sleeves, break out the wet naps and eat a few wings.
After ranch dressing at the top: 35 percent of wing lovers choose barbecue sauce as their typical snack or dipping sauce; 32 percent said blue cheese; 31 percent hot sauce; 29 percent celery; and 17 percent choose carrots.

Ten percent of wing lovers describe themselves as purists who eat nothing with their wings.
‘Buffalo’ Favorite Style/Flavor
Among those U.S. adults who eat chicken wings, nearly two-thirds (65 percent) say Buffalo wings are among their favorite flavors/styles, with 39 percent saying they prefer mild, 36 percent hot and eight percent “atomic.”
Women (62 percent) are just as likely as men (67 percent) to choose Buffalo style as their favorite.

More than four in 10 (44 percent) women aged 18-34 like their Buffalo wings hot, significantly more than any other female age category.
Northeastern wing eaters are significantly more likely (74 percent) to prefer Buffalo style wings than those in the Midwest (63 percent), South (61 percent) or West (62 percent). Folks in the Midwest are significantly more likely (57 percent) to choose barbecue wings as among their favorites.

After Buffalo (65 percent) and barbeque (49 percent), another favorite flavor/style of chicken wings is breaded/fried, at 35 percent. Teriyaki (33 percent), sweet and sour (29 percent) and plain (28 percent) round out the poll.
Where do Americans Get their Wings?
The National Chicken Council estimates that of the wings eaten during the Super Bowl, 75 percent will come from food service outlets and 25 percent from retail grocery stores.

Although the vast majority of wings eaten during the Super Bowl are purchased from food service outlets, such as restaurants, bars and wing and pizza places, wing sales at grocery stores and supermarkets spike dramatically the week of the Super Bowl, and the data show that consumers also stock up the week before, too.
According to Nielsen Perishables Group FreshFacts® data, both fresh and prepared wings totaled $1.

7 billion in sales at stores covered in their system for the 52 weeks ending November 30, 2013, an increase of 6.4 percent compared to a year earlier.
Consumers cooking their own wings at home can find traditional and unique chicken wing recipes on the National Chicken Council website at www.eatchicken.com.
Wing-onomics
The vast majority of wings, especially those destined for restaurants, are disjointed, with the third joint (the thin part known as the flapper) being exported to Asian countries and the meatier first and second joints being sold domestically.

The wing is usually split into two parts – or portions or segments – known as the “drumette” and the mid-section or “flat” and sold to restaurants or retail grocery outlets.
A chicken has two wings, and chicken companies are not able to produce wings without the rest of the chicken. Therefore, the supply of wings is limited by the total number of chickens produced. When the demand for wings is stronger than the demand for other chicken parts, the price of wings will go up.

The wholesale price of whole wings is currently the third highest priced part of the chicken, after the tender and boneless-skinless breast. But still a steal compared to other proteins in the meat case.
Wing prices traditionally go up in the fourth quarter of the year as restaurants stock up for the Super Bowl, and prices usually peak in January during the run-up to the big game.
The Rest of the Year – 2014
Although America’s taste for chicken wings is no hotter than during Super Bowl weekend, the National Chicken Council estimates that overall in 2014 more than 13.

5 billion chicken wings, more than three billion pounds, will be marketed as wings (as opposed to the wings on a whole or rotisserie chicken, for example). The actual number of wing portions sold is estimated to be 27 billion because, as noted above, the vast majority of wings are cut into two segments or portions.
2014 Marks 50th Anniversary of Buffalo Wing’s Creation
Deep-fried chicken wings have long been a staple of Southern cooking.

But the concept of cooking wings in peppery hot sauce was born in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, when co-owner Teressa Bellissimo cooked leftover wings in hot sauce as a late-night snack for her son and his friends. The guys liked them so much that the Bellissimos put them on the menu the next day. Served with celery slices and bleu cheese sauce, “Buffalo Wings” were an instant hit.

Dick Winger, who sold hot sauce to the bar, went on the road with Dominic Bellissimo, the owners’ son, to promote the item and sell hot sauce, and the item gradually caught on with restaurant operators around the country. The concept hit the big time in 1990, when McDonald’s began selling Mighty Wings at some of its restaurants. KFC rolled out Hot Wings a year later, and Domino’s Pizza introduced its own wings in 1994.

They’ve remained hot ever since. McDonald’s was back in the wing business last year, and its Mighty Wings will be featured nationwide at most restaurants through the first quarter of 2014.
Chicken Wings and Football – A Love Story
The rise of the chicken wing and its correlation to American football all had to do with timing.
Cooking the whole bird was trendy in the sixties and seventies, but in the eighties U.

S. consumers started preferring boneless-skinless breast meat, and wings became an inexpensive byproduct for chicken producers. Restaurants and bars realized they could charge low prices for the relatively inexpensive protein, and due to the spicy/salty nature of the sauce, they discovered that beer sales would go through the roof when customers ate wings.
At the same time, sports bars with multiple TVs and satellite dishes were becoming more and more common in America thanks to rapidly developing technology; and the most popular sporting event to watch with friends in bars is football.

Wings were easily shareable and affordable, a great “group food” to eat with other people, and are the perfect pairing with a pitcher of beer. And so the pigskin-chicken wing bond was born.

For anyone whos thinking about stepping into the business enterprise of marketing wholesale merchandise at retail rates, the very first thing that will come to thoughts is, wherever do I obtain the wholesale products from? The next thought will probably be, which wholesalers or fall shippers can i rely on?

Long gone are definitely the days when males would just put on anything at all they d in the closet. Today, males are only as style aware as women, and they're ready to devote cash to buy the garments they like. In truth, a lot of men like to purchase brand identify apparel due to the fact they are sure to be of excellent excellent and elegance. Should they should purchase branded mens have on at wholesale rates, then they are going to go out and purchase more of these inexpensive good quality apparel.

(Cosmopolitan) - Since the beginning of the year, our readers have been going crazy over a new ‘Skinny Pill” that is sweeping the nation and helping people from all walks of life transform their bodies quickly and safely - a product that has been so successful, many weight-loss doctors and plastic surgeons now want to see it banned.
They are making accusations that it causes people to get lean too quickly and should be regulated, despite the fact that it’s clinically proven to be safe and has none of the dangerous side effects that prescription diet pills have.

Since the products were recently featured on an episode of The Dr. Oz Show, we have been getting 1000’s of daily letters from our readers, begging us for more information and asking us how they can get their hands on this new fat-burning supplement. Surprisingly, many people who struggle daily with their weight have yet to hear about this powerful option.
In a recent exclusive interview with Cosmopolitan, movie star Scarlett Johansson credits the product with helping her lose nearly 22-lbs of body fat in preparation for her role as the ‘Black Widow’ in The Avengers.

Dozens of other celebrities like Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera, Sandra Bullock and Kelly Osborne have all lost weight and transformed their bodies using this controversial pill. Even Men have gotten in on the weight-loss action and used the same product to make some drastic physical transformations.
“I love my new body and I love what I see in the mirror. I’ve tried dozens of products and treatments but none worked better than Smart Trim Garcinia and Smart Trim Mango.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
The product we're talking about is called Smart Trim Garcinia. You may have seen it in the news, on TV, or trending online as the safe and powerful "secret diet trick” being used by models, celebrities and regular folk all across America. Smart Trim Garcinia’s high anti-oxidant content and powerful fat burning properties make it a belly busting machine.

Combine it with the detoxifying, cleansing and additional weight loss effect of a Smart Trim Mango and you see why this deserves a Special Report. But maybe the most important part is that Smart Trim Garcinia is finally available nationwide WITHOUT a prescription.
According to Dr Julie Chen (A guest host on the Dr. Oz episode where Smart Trim Garcinia was featured) the product works in more than one way, “The first way is it goes in and causes the body to burn glucose, or sugar, and burn fat, mainly in the liver…
The second way, the most important way, is it slows the release of sugar into the blood stream.

So when you don’t have sugar building up in the blood stream, you don’t have fat building up because sugar turns to fat. When the two are combined together, you get this synergistic effect that basically burns and blocks and stops fat, but it also is natural and safe.”
If you’re feeling skeptical right now, you’re not alone. We here at Cosmopolitan have seen many promising products come and go over the last 18 years.

When we first learned about ‘yet another’ fat-burning/body-firming product our fad radar went off right away. Even after pouring through mountains of research. While I had an educated opinion, I still had no personal proof that the Smart Trim Garcinia option was worth the time. So, with my editors blessing, I decided to go out and put the product to the test myself. What better way to find out the truth than to conduct my own study?
We know that the thought of losing your excess fat often feels like an impossible challenge.

We’ve evaluated numerous fat-loss programs and it seems like everything, too demanding or doesn’t work as claimed. The reason why most programs fail is because they impose unrealistic restrictions on your daily life.
“It’s simply amazing. I can’t believe how quickly I saw results. Real results! I literally saw results after the first day. I can’t thank you enough, I have my youthful figure back”
Despite our reservations about Smart Trim Garcinia & Smart Trim Mango, the countless success stories that have poured into our office showed that ordinary people around the world were able to make incredible changes to their bodies without drastic changes.

These people saw results without having to significantly change their lifestyles or eating habits.
In this special report, I explain exactly how I tested the products and show you the surprising results I achieved. Today, I’m leaking the secret to what, we here at Cosmopolitan, call “quite possibly the most effective female physique transformation stack the world has ever seen”. I’ll show you how you too can get a leaner, slimmer sexier body quickly and safely without having to use illegal drugs or paying $1000’s for surgery.

Smart Trim Garcinia Clinical Studies
In a study published in the journal Lipids in Health & Disease, subjects taking Smart Trim Garcinia lost an average of 19.3 pounds in 28 days (4 weeks) without any changes to their diet or exercise.
Smart Trim Garcinia contains no stimulants, no artificial chemicals and is 100% Natural.
Smart Trim Garcinia has been found to increase metabolism, boosting weight loss by more than 640%.

Studies have shown a 39% reduction in cholesterol and an average 2 inch reduction in belly fat within 28 days (4 weeks)
At first, I only wanted to try Smart Trim Garcinia since losing fat was my main goal. However, the company advised us that the amino acid boosting, digestive cleansing and detoxifying effect of Smart Trim Mango combined Smart Trim Garcinia would create a synergistic effect and actually lead to a 2X increase in fat loss versus using Smart Trim Garcinia alone.

So after reviewing the literature, going through most of the success stories and speaking with the our internal medical staff here at Cosmopolitan, we came to the decision that I would achieve maximum results using both products together, as they were intended.
The Proof is in the Real-World Results
Subjects lost more weight – an average of 17 pounds – while supplementing with Smart Trim Garcinia compared to a placebo.

On average, subjects experienced a 7.2% reduction in body weight.
Subject also experienced a 16% reduction in body fat.
When Smart Trim Garcinia was combined with Smart Trim Mango, the subjects saw an additional 49% reduction in fat loss along with a further 4.6% reduction in overall bodyweight.
The combination of Smart Trim Garcinia and Smart Trim Mango led to an incredible 37.6% acceleration in desired positive results.

Subjects did not change their diets while on the study however were all physically active and exercised at least once per week.
So I went ahead, visited the Smart Trim Garcinia & Smart Trim Mango website, and ordered my Risk Free Trial of the products.
They both arrived within 4 days.
Each bottle held a month’s worth of pills which worked out perfectly as I would be following the supplement routine for 4 weeks and documenting my progress along the way.

The product dosage was:
Take One Smart Trim Garcinia pill every morning
Take One Smart Trim Mango pill in the evening before bed
The results shocked everyone here at Cosmopolitan (including myself)…
After one week on the diet using Smart Trim Garcinia & Smart Trim Mango I was surprised at the dramatic results. My energy level was up, and I wasn’t even hungry. Apparently, this is a side effect of the garcinia cambogia and HCA present in Smart Trim Garcinia, which help curb the appetite.

I honestly felt fantastic.
And I didn’t even change anything about my daily routine. On Day 7 I got on the scale and had to do a double-take. I had lost 7-lbs, really?! But skeptical me, I still wasn’t convinced as they say you lose a lot of water at the beginning of any diet. I wanted to take a “wait & see” approach. But it sure was looking up! I now weighed under 130-lbs. for the first time since my 20’s.

After two weeks of using Smart Trim Garcinia and Smart Trim Mango, I started the week off with even more energy and was actually sleeping more soundly than before. I was no longer waking up during the night and tossing and turning because my body was actually able to relax (I believe this is a result of getting rid of the toxins). Plus I still managed to lose another 5-lbs, putting me at an unbelievable 12-lbs of weight loss, in just 2 weeks.

I must admit that I’m starting to believe that this diet is more than just a gimmick.
Week Three:
After 3 weeks all my doubts and skepticism had absolutely vanished! I am down, 2 full dress sizes, after losing another 5-lbs. And I still have a ton of energy. Quite often, around the third week of other diets, you tend to run out of steam. But with the Smart Trim Garcinia & Smart Trim Mango, my energy levels don’t dip, but remain steady throughout the day.

I no longer need that cat nap around 3pm in the afternoon! And I am even noticing that my stomach is digesting food so much better. No bloating or embarrassing gas after I eat!
Week Four:
After the fourth week, my final results were shocking. I lost an unbelievable 21-lbs since starting the Smart Trim Garcinia & Smart Trim Mango diet! Actually everyone at Cosmopolitan is kicking themselves for not having volunteered to be the guinea pig.

Using the Smart Trim Garcinia & Smart Trim Mango in week 4 I lost 4 more pounds. But to be honest I really didn’t have much more left to lose. I am definitely going to continue taking the Smart Trim Garcinia afterwards because it has so many antioxidants and vitamins that it makes my skin look unbelievable. A pretty sweet side-effect.
“I couldn’t be any happier with the results.I Lost 21-lbs in 4 Weeks, No Special Diet, No Intense Exercise”
In conclusion: Like us, here at Cosmopolitan, you might be a little doubtful about the effects of this diet, but you need to try it for yourself; the results are real.

From my own experiment I can tell you that the results are real. After conducting this personal study we are pleased to see that people really are finding success with it (myself included). And you have nothing to lose. We are confident that you too can reach your weight loss goals with Smart Trim Garcinia and Smart Trim Mango.
